We look only at the Harley world here, but look a little wider. Go price a new truck, hell for that matter a used one. I bet every one of us here can remember a time when $3500 would buy you a hell of a nice, jump in it and take a trip, pick up. That buys a rust bucket now and if you want anything that could ever leave the farm it's going to be $10,000. Labor at a Harley shop is what now days? $80 $90 an hour? Bet if your car makes a trip to the dealership for repairs you will pay right around that rate also?? Guess the big differences is I can't remember going into the car dealerships to buy a Tee Shirt but sure remember at time where I could make a trip without coming home without a bag full of Harley shirt for along the Rt and I have got so fat I cant wear 3/4 of them.....lol
